XR500 Two Wifi networks

Good morning.  Just got an XR500 yesterday and am setting it up this morning.  My question..

 

Is it possible to have two WiFi networks on the device, i.e. one for my main wifi and another for IOT wifi?  So for example, one called Main and one called Smart.  Have Main set as one VLAN and Smart set as another?

 

Thanks.

    You could have main WiFi using 5GHz and IOT using 2.4GHz for example, then apply VLAN to either of those or you could use Guest WiFi but you wouldn't be able to apply VLAN to that.
